Been using this since yesterday, I had looked into free push services ages ago but didnt find anything that did not involve a ton of fecking about.
Until now

Tested it last night and the emails were pretty much instant

I'd be interested to know if it has any effect on your devices battery life. Does Apple have a true push system or does it poll it ever minute or two?
I know Google have cloud to device which is a puch system, kinda like receiving a text, which means Gmails come through instantly with little battery effect.
Other apps that have a push service tend to poll regularly and this kills battery.

This one works through the exchange connector in the phone so when push is on it wont be checking for emails.
One of the battery killers I read about a while ago was letting the phone check your mail for you.
I have not tested it fully but for me I charge my phone at my desk at work for an hour or so a day and it does me a couple of days if I dont, thats using spotify as well.
Guess the only way is to try it out

I've been using this for months now. Been perfect. I have two google mail accounts on there, one IMAP and the other POP.
Also, my iphone calendar gets its info from my google calendar which updates straight away too. I have both mine and the wifes calendar pointing to the same google calendar so either of us can update it and see changes instantly.
This is VERY handy!
